Will Jimmie Johnson Win No. 8?

Will 2017 be the season that Jimmie Johnson wins his eighth NASCAR championship?

Some NASCAR fans felt that Johnson would never get to seven championships, especially after seeing him struggle in 2014 and 2015 with the new Chase format. Well, in 2016 Johnson figured it all out and he won his seventh title.

In 2017 the sky is the limit for the No. 48 team as there is little reason to believe they cannot achieve in 2017 exactly what they did in 2016. Let’s not forget that this No. 48 team is also the team that won five consecutive NASCAR titles at one point.

The fact of the matter here is that eight is more than likely given what Johnson and his team have accomplished throughout his career.
